Hair loss is one of those unfortunate phenomena of life that may be experienced by a significant number of men and women of all ages. Multiple factors like genetic predisposition, autoimmune disorders, use of chronic medication, stress, hormones, diet and general health may contribute to thinning hair. Nevertheless, medical science keeps searching for topical products and treatments that could assist in stimulating hair regrowth. Based on previous research data we would like to discuss the influence of the treatment cocktail containing human growth factors (Aesthet Recovery Serum Sanitatem) and plant stem cells (DNA Epinew Stem Cell Elixir) combined with transdermal delivery using electroporation.
The insulin-like Growth Factor – 1 (IGF-1) contained in Aesthet Recovery Serum Sanitatem represents a perfect mimic of human IGF-1 and is synthesised in plant cells by transient human gene transfer. This laboratory method produces high yields of human IGF-1 protein that is subsequently purified 1 . Based on the published studies, the stimulating effect of IGF-1 on hair growth is likely to involve the following pathways: IGF-1 is suggested to play a role in regulating cellular proliferation and differentiation during the development of the hair follicle; IGF-1 regulates hair-cycle dependant expression of some anti-apoptotic proteins in the follicles, which may contribute to the anti-apoptotic role of IGF-1 in hair follicles; and lastly, IGF-1 increases blood flow, which may increase follicular metabolism 2 .
